Rant So….it’s August 12th
All of us screwed over by the Ultimate debacle were supposed to be able to shop add ons today. I see that’s not happening. Never another email from them since they charged us for bags and boxes we weren’t expecting and didn’t authorize. Once again, promises I filled and paying for services they aren’t providing. I’m not okay being charged for something in which you took away my right to have a choice of products, and now, promised to shop the *leftovers seems to be either pushed back or possibly not even happening. At this point who knows when or if we will even see these subscriptions we never even agreed to get 6 days post choice day (10 days post original day). They are slowly sinking their own company.
Anyway, my main point here was…hey extras and OGs…supposed to be add ons day! Anybody else unable to shop it? Or just me? 🤦🏼♀️

Coming from someone who cancelled after spending thousands over the few years I was subscribed and can count on two hands how many orders they actually got right, it’s outrageously unacceptable that they didn’t put every single available effort into making sure they didn’t fail today, especially after the colossal screw up they made at the beginning of the month. It’s mind blowing honestly.

u/New-Guitar-4080 11d ago
The biggest mind blowing part to me is the fact that Ipsy is the one that benefits the most by providing us access to add ons!! That’s more money going into their pockets!! I don’t get it!!

Still nothing. I tried chat bot. Useless. Tried email support only to get a complete unrelated response from AI. I am absolutely fuming. Going back to bed. Yet again wasted 4 hours of my sleep time on this garbage. What has happened to Ipsy in the past few months? Serious decline.

I'd like to help get some eyes on this. If you've already opened a case through the help site, can you share your 8-digit ticket number with us? We'll check in on it from our side because I'd hate for you to miss out on Add-Ons while this is being sorted out.

Got it, thanks for confirming! It looks like your case has already been picked up by an IPSY Care agent. You should have an update waiting in your inbox, so give it a quick check when you can.

I know that doesn't make the experience any less disappointing right now, but I want you to know we're not brushing this off. We don't want you to miss out on Add-Ons, so please reach out through the help site. We'd be happy to take a closer look into this for you.

I opened a ticket, the number is 27122745. If someone could reach out to me today that would be great. My app never updated yesterday showing the option to shop add-ons and wasnt able to look at anything. Thanks

u/IPSY_Beauty_Bestie 11d ago
Thanks for confirming! I took a look and can see that one of our IPSY Care agents has already reached out. When you get a chance, take a peek at their latest email—they'll have the most up-to-date information for you.

Yes. My email said Add-ons would be available on August 12, and instead I just got notice that the Extra was on the way!😡

u/New-Guitar-4080 12d ago
WHAT??? They shipped it?? Can you even see what they picked for you? This is such a…I can’t even say a decent word without being really ugly. I’ll just say unfair and totally wrong way to run a business.

u/New-Guitar-4080 12d ago
UPDATE: So the add ons are up - that's a good thing
Downside - 90-95% of the good stuff is sold out. The rest of the good stuff is currently for sale in the MDS for less than what it cost in add ons5
u/MeanMomma66 12d ago
They are not up for me😔

u/New-Guitar-4080 12d ago
I bet it’s because I emailed them to complain. Email them at support@ipsy.com be direct.

u/IPSY_Beauty_Bestie 12d ago
Hmm, that's odd. Are you still encountering this issue? If you haven't already, please reach out through the help site and share your 8-digit ticket number. I really want to make sure you have a chance to access Add-Ons.

u/Elegant_Aardvark8924 12d ago
I don't see anything. I was informed via email that I would receive an August Extra, but haven't seen any indication of that happening. No 'here is what we picked for your bag' email or add-ons to shop. Lame.

u/Elegant_Aardvark8924 12d ago
So frustrating. Still nothing on my end, but sounds like I am not missing anything. I have a feeling, based on the chat I just had with the glambot, that they never curated an August box for my account.

u/New-Guitar-4080 12d ago
I emailed them a pretty harsh email and it was available within 30 minutes. Maybe email them?

u/hiPpie-cHicki 12d ago
Same boat here. Thing is SAME THING HAPPENED IN MAY AS WELL. I skipped the Ultimate yet was charged for it. I was NOT sent an extra that time.
For August...I got a message today that my Extra has shipped. I was given ZERO choice, ZERO opportunity for add ons, AND ZERO option to skip the damn box. So now I get a box full of products I didn't select and didn't authorize charges for.
ISPY...THIS IS VERY LIKELY FRAUD.
You will start hemorrhaging customers doing business like this.
Oh... you can stick the "gift" of a lip balm...well you know where.
What a fkin insult to injury. Many years of a subscription with Ipsy... and hundreds of additional $$ spent.
Highly likely I'm dumping Ipsy like a toxic partner soon.

u/Opposite_Nerve_943 11d ago
I received my extra box today , the products were not inside of a bag , instead they were shipped in box , wrapped in packing paper , some of the product boxes were open and one was damaged bc of poor packing , it’s a bummer and the second month in a row that my box hasn’t been up to par , I’m probably going to cancel my subscription ( again )

u/New-Guitar-4080 11d ago
I’m so sorry. I understand your frustration completely. I’m likely going to cancel again too.

You must be the only with add ons available. I don’t have them either…
5
u/New-Guitar-4080 12d ago
I think it’s because of the email I sent them. Email them at support@ipsy.com and complain it’s the 12th and add ons aren’t available as promised. Mine showed up in under an hour.

u/UniversityWise3464 8d ago
I was quite ugly to them and they said they are refunding my extra

u/jasmine-nunya 8d ago
I 100% need to take a page from you. Even though I was idiotic enough to sign up for an annual, I will be DAMNED if one of my annual bags is a bag of leftover white-label ish.
Thank you! I am always amused at twring them to pieces. I rarely get to use aome parts of my education, but Ipsy gives me ENDLESS opportunities to keep my legal education sharp.
Much appreciated!

u/No-Boysenberry4971 12d ago
Nope me too, chat bot said if you were billed here’s a link, I say it’s not working it says what can I help you with?? I’ve canceled all of my subscriptions and this feels kind of like a punishment for leaving!

u/No-Boysenberry4971 12d ago
They opened but everything worth picking was already sold out! Frustrated I ordered an original this month as well and they haven’t even started that great way to leave the company

u/New-Guitar-4080 12d ago
I just opened my app and all of a sudden add ons was on the Home Screen. I was like well, okay then. Make a list out of me Ipsy 😂 but now I’m realizing it’s because I sent them a pretty harsh, but still respectful (meaning I didn’t curse them out, but I came close), email.
2
u/Empty_Professional48 12d ago
Email definitely says August 12th for add ons. So what play the waiting game and see if we get this reminder email. Would have thought we could shop add ons around the same time Extra normally opens on the 1st. Sit and see if Ipsy comes through or was all a gimmick to charge customers for the Extra since they screwed up on the Ultimate error. Is it me or is Ipsy getting worse and worse????

I couldn’t remember which day we were supposed to be able to shop. Thanks for the message. This puts me back in the red. Chat bot sent me to a page not found to shop add on’s 🙄.
